we increased the strikes and gaza available through the falls through striking underground terrace facilities and terrace facilities in a very significant way. membership left the following, the series of strikes of the last few days the ground forces are extending the ground operation to night. israel has steadily been increasing its incursions into gaza using mobile units was turned supported by jets and drones. a steady stream of attacks before and expected full scale invasion and the warning for me. so i love friday. it's accusers how most of using causes largest medical complex the, i'll ship a hospital as that ministry operational headquarters. when medical facilities are used for their purposes, they're liable to lose the protection from a tech in accordance with international law. the challenges rail faces. i'll chief

a hospital has become a refuge from the bombing for tens of thousands of ca. this didn't use israel has not yet succeeded in stopping how much fighting rockets over the boulder from gaza . the minutes a group saves the 5 to a number of solve those on friday, the rockets light, this one would show to a residential building in terms of eve. we would do several this raise a reminder that the terrorist threat from how much is still very much alive, but really a day to be correspondent rebecca reid has told us about the development of a nice a as well. anthony, yesterday, as you would just reporting there was that we were saying the biggest bombardment from these ready military into gaza sofa in this world today marks the 3rd week since the most terror attack has into israel and the retaliatory strong spine is really military. we see that wrapping off of the drawings yesterday evening of the spokes person to addressed address to the media addressed us,

telling us that they would be stepping out those attacks as you heard. and he was saying those was just as we could see that that was exactly what was happening. a heavy, heavy bombardment he felt sure of announcing a full ground invasion that we were getting reports of seeing people on the ground saying that they were seeing militants fighting with tax. that there was another small incursion of small, right. as these rarely military or cooling it, we've seen a couple of those. well, so several of those that have, we've moved frequency and we believe that is going to continue until such a time. when i feel that they are ready to go into the full ground invasion, we know that communications have been lost pretty much across the gals district. so getting information out is getting increasingly difficult. we know that several engineers have reported that they've lost contact with all of this stuff. and so the only people being able to get out information of the very few people who have access to some kind of satellite and making it very difficult some. and you are

saying that that creates a call that as of that, the idea of can, of these are in the military rather can go in and carry out all sorts of things and nobody's going to be able to get that message out. so as i mentioned, we have reports of come back fighting in the areas around the gaza strip around that the particularly the north and northeast part. and that we're expecting the military to go in, in the coming days at the situation was all over the catastrophic for the people inside of guys, the international i just been reduced to what one you, one agency says is crumbs getting in the information is not getting out and what is the situation on the ground in jobs of now for those people left behind? sadly, we're going to have to start using our imagination to answer that question. and today we know that things have been dire already. in the late up of this there's been a huge shortages. people running out of full few food,

water and water scarcity becoming an issue for other diseases. and what about diseases when things being caused infrastructure being pounded and broken in water sources becoming disease? disease spread is so we know that uh the desktop is rising. we, we have no way of verifying the death toll that comes from that kind of thing and helpful. sorry, keep it as well over 7000 at the moment and looking at the pictures that were coming out of gauze and last night. it's hard to imagine that isn't rising in a very quick way. love, yesterday the same time as the somebody we saw that the you invited to says majority the to cooling for a humanitarian sci fi. but that's a non binding resolution and it doesn't look like it's going to be accepted outright. rejected, in fact, by israel. so the situation full gardens on the ground becoming increasingly dying . but as we know, communications now almost completely caught across the street. we're getting, it's getting hotter and hotter to find out exactly what's happening there. rebecca

read this into ridgeland. thanks so much on. meanwhile, the situation for the more than 2000000 people trapped in gas where it's growing worse by the hour. just a trick of humanitarian aid has been arriving and supplies of food, fuel and water have nearly run out or in the gaza strip. related to this, bombing continues from the from the see a bit dire warnings that the trickle of a that is getting in is nowhere near enough basic services. a company where this thing is running out. food and water running out the state of does a, i've started to overflowing, we said we gather is on to bring over my safety has as low as the risk of diseases looming. all of this is mag west by the fuel shortages

around 200000 people in shouts has received fresh bread from the wells food program every day. and the few bakeries it is still open, a producing a fraction of that before the crisis began, or no other options this woman is resorted to using what type of paper she can sign this field to by clicking on the streets. the been the and we've gone to good floor under bombardment from the deceased area and we've brought firewood from the streets and were risking our lives looking for paper. how dependent on the hop on for. so what are some look up? the fresh water is also in short supply many and got a non queueing up for the bottles and kindest is unsure when the next delivery might make it through gaza house so, so that he's willing to the hospitals of it breaking point, lacking medicine and fuel to carry out essential operations. humanitarian situation on the ground is a key increasingly bleak. we're gonna do this one and unable to breast feed her

baby and lucky we've lost contact with our colleagues in in gaza. the last thing we heard was that is really airstrikes. we're intensifying at a level that we haven't even we haven't seen in the last 3 weeks, which is pretty hard to imagine. um, the last message that we received from our colleague was that he was trying to reach out to people and he couldn't. and that and asked us to, to pray for him. and so it's, it's just awful that there had been a few images that have come out this morning and you know, children with luggage spaces. i mean the, the images to have been truly apocalyptic. alexandra at this stage, how your team managing to provide humanitarian assistance. what form is that assistance coming in? in such a a, a desolate plants as it's been very little. i mean, there have been

a few. a convoy is over the last week that have managed to come in, i think maximum 60 to 8 convoys have come in. i started a 62 trucks have come in with supplies, but that's only food, water and some limited medical supplies. i mean it's, it's really nothing to celebrate a prior to this most recent escalation, $500.00 trucks would come in to gaza per day. fine. for 2200000 people and and so 62 over the course of less than a week is, is, is, is really not much um and the scary thing is that things can get worse. i mean it's, it's because it has basically run out of fuel. yeah. hospitals have claps. alexandra, i just want to ask quickly, i'm, as you work beside the children, pardon me for interrupting the situation is awfully di for everyone. it seems. but

can you talk about the effect of these strikes the effect of this situation out on the children in gaza right now? will true children are actually paying the highest price out of the more than 7000 people who have been killed, buyers strikes on more than 3000 of them have been children. so that's nearly half . i mean, even prior to the last 3 weeks we, we know that children and gaza have been traumatized, living for your living anxiety, and this is only making it so much worse. i can't even imagine what the next generation of children will feel like, and it's just complete quality. this is why we're calling for an immediate cease fire. this is the only thing that will truly help save lives right now. um and cuz the children are truly paying the price of, of all of this finance this alexandra siad will have to leave at the from side the

children international. thanks so much for your time. and one friday, jewish organizations here in berlin showed the solar there he with the 220 hostages, who were taken by him. us terrorists. on the 7th of october, a table with 220 empty seats was set up in front of the jewish community center in 2 days and mets a tradition to bulk on the subject on friday evening with the communal meal. the deputies, simon. yeah. as mole from central building, 220 place is laid at the show about table to drawer attention to the hostages held and goes up by a mass. this is an event similar to those held in other cities to which brings close to the suffering of families in israel. at the same time, it's a demonstration by the jewish community here in the lane that they hope for the solidarity of the wind, a gym, and society. many are concerned about
